Every Second Counts

I saw Lance's new book at Border's today for $17.50. I didn't pick it up, though. Has anyone read it, yet? How about a review.

For the record: I am a Lance fan. I read and liked It's Not About the Bike. The best bits of the book described his battle with cancer, and racing the TdF. I didn't think it was exceptionally well-written or the best book I've ever read.

I'd be particularly interested to know what the new book covers and what insights it offers.

Thanks.

I read it in one sitting. It is a good read, but more geared towards biking this time out. I loved reading it and would recommend it to anyone who loves to ride, but his first book was much better in my opinion with a great inspirational story to tell.

It was nice to see him actually mention Trek in this book. There was no mention of Trek in his first book, only a vague reference to him having ridden an "American made bike."

I say buy it, but wait until it is on the bestseller rack and you can get it at a reduced price.

You can read a chapter of it on the Lance Armstrong
web site (if its still there), thats what I did.
Seemed good, well written (same author as before,
and no NOT LANCE!) don't know if it will have the same
impact as Its Not About the Bike. don't know if I could take another one of those.
